Most private servers opening for the C1-C6 era of L2 are C6. Is that because most players prefer C6 over C4 these days? I'm looking for honest opinions on C4 vs C6 L2 servers and the viability of launching a C4 server.

My worry is that there aren't 300+ unique active people that want to play C4 and are looking for a new server.

I started playing back before C4 so for me - I prefer the C4 balance over C6 but I'm really interested in hearing other peoples opinion on the state of the community.

Thanks!

Well probably the reason for the flood of interlude servers was the availabillity of files and people in the past prefered interlude than the newer chronicles. Tho in the last few years things seem to have changed and ppl started to mourn for that nostalgia feeling that interlude cant really get you.(altho i dont see that big diffrence myself). However the truth is l2 is pretty much a dead game . There is no more flow of new players , its entirely old gen game and the player base have a natural incline.
Other problem is that a brand new server has near to 0% chance of success , no matter what chronicle is. By success i mean having big population. Nowdays only russian cashgrab projects are immensly populated , and those projects will never let another new server arise to be succesful , they would ddos its ass off (happend many times to many new servers). That being said EU community is pretty much dead.So to have success , you will need a pretty big investment for files , advertisement and protection.Even then if lets say hypothetcly you succeed and get 500+ players you will become next target for RMT companies that are basicly killing any server with big population.
What i can suggest is forget about opening a new server (unless you are damn serious about it , have lots of time ,money and dev exp.)and come play at l2firebird i thinks its the only real c4 left alive.

if you call that server alive then Santa Claus is real as well
that admin never advertised his server, the players had to do it, isn't it clear that he doesn't want a big populated server ?

my progress in the server stays for long time with no chance of wipe.

hell wtf man ))), who's the kid now )))))

how old are u?

im dan, im 33 nice to meet u

Me too. L2Firebird seems like a nice server but the population is too low for me to invest in it.
